Assess
When you need to answer "is this code good enough to ship?" this skill gives you structured evaluation across six dimensions: correctness, maintainability, security, performance, testability, and simplicity. It pulls from your project's memory server to compare against past decisions and conventions, then produces a 0-10 score with pros, cons, and actionable improvements. You can tune effort levels from quick assessments to an "xhigh" mode on Opus 4.8 that adds an uncertainty pass with per-dimension confidence scores. It's built for code reviews, architecture comparisons, and trade-off analysis. The handoff system lets you resume mid-assessment, and it respects model overrides and effort flags from the command line.

Effort levels
| Effort | Behavior |
|---|---|
low / medium | Subset of dimensions, faster turnaround |
high (default) | All seven dimensions with pros/cons |
xhigh | All seven dimensions + one additional assessor pass focused on uncertainty/caveats; emits confidence per dimension |
xhighsilently falls back tohighon a model that does not implement it: no error, no log line.doctorCategory 14 reports this, and only when it can positively prove the active model lacks the tier.
